I stay awake at night I read these books by candlelight The mantle clock ticks silently As voices whisper in my dreams ♪ The things I hear, the things I see Ghosts, goblins, fiends My fantasy presents a thousand ugly shapes ♪ I see ghosts at night Their faces bathed in firelight Their hollow eyes, they question me Their voices haunt me silently ♪ The nightmares haunt me constantly (constantly) I walk these halls where I know I've been I find myself at the top of the stairs These voices follow me everywhere Falling weightless to the night below
